    Can't Track Inflation If You Fire the Trackers

    On this episode of @ Me Later, LV and Shannon unravel a disturbing headline: the U.S. government is slashing staff at the Labor Department—aka the folks who track inflation. As blanket tariffs loom and data transparency vanishes, the duo calls out the disinformation strategy in plain sight: if you can’t control the numbers, just stop reporting them.From the gutting of the National Weather Service to the warning from a Florida weatherman who literally can’t predict hurricanes anymore, this episode dives into the chaotic overlap of propaganda, climate disaster, and economic freefall.They also go off on Medicare, insurance loss, 401ks in freefall, and what happens when leaders stop pretending to care about facts. Bonus rants include Marjorie Taylor Greene not reading bills, The Villages’ golf cart parades, and how to rage while still enjoying a sunny day.Topics include:• Inflation data manipulation• Labor Department hiring freeze• NOAA & NWS staffing crisis• Hurricane name list exhaustion• Tariff madness• MTG being MTG• Authoritarian creep and democratic erosion• How to stay loud and stay sane🎧 Listen now before they revoke *our* podcasting privileges.HARVARD COURSES Hosts: Shannon & LVHands Off!
